50 Best Indian Restaurants near Stoneham

“In six years living in the North Shore, our family has probably eaten here five times. We have enjoyed the food each time. Service is prompt and unobtrusive. Tonight we had Saag Paneer and Paneer Tikka Masala with garlic naan and chai. Fresh, warm naan is always tasty but at some restaurants as it cools it becomes doughy and tasteless. At Rang, the naan is good hot or cool. The curries were tasty and the medium spiciness was just right. The samosas had lots of stuffing, and the wrap was not oily (an issue at many).“

“Outstanding Indian food, we are so lucky to have Masala in Union Square.“

“i love their food and so is family i highly recommend them“

“india Pizza in Lexington, MA - A Hidden Gem. I recently visited India Pizza in Lexington, MA, for the first time and wasn't sure what to order. I decided on fried chicken and fried vegetable rice, which turned out to be an awesome choice. The rice came out first, and it was fantastic. The chicken was perfectly crisp, just the way I like it, even though I didn't request it that way. The customer service was top-notch—very professional. I only interacted with one staff member, but the service was fast, and I didn't have to wait long for anything. I highly recommend you try their food. I'll definitely be coming back. Excellent service all around! I'm not a person who try different culture foods. The reviews sold me. The Service I received again was top notch 👌 👍“

“Tashan is delicious Indian restaurant in New England area in Bedford. It was my 50 th birthday I celebrated at Tashan. It was amazing food with best complaints from the owners of the restaurant and staffs. Thank you so much to owner and staffs.?“

“Wow, we are impressed. You all are fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable all home cooked super fresh Indian food. It was absolutely wonderful. They helped with all of our choices and we got to speak to them about their culture and where they were from absolutely wonderful. We will be eating there again. The place is very clean. Everyone is super super friendly I can’t say enough good things my husband and I are foodies. This is definitely a 10 out of 10.“

“stopped by when in town for work. Spice levels were just right, service was fine, and food was great. I can't wait to visit again!“

“Me and my girl have been getting this place almost once a week for the past 6 months. We always get garlic naan, butter chicken or chicken Tikka masala (yeah we white as hell.)

This is hands down the best northern Indian cuisine in Waltham, maybe the entire Northeast. We've had a ton of other restaurants but here everything is straight flavor, fresh, tender & perfectly cooked.

Other than the insane food, the staff have all been friendly & attentive. The atmosphere is also clean and nice enough to bring a significant other for a fancy night.“

“Dinner party for 8, we were a little late but they were very accommodating. We started with Samosas which came with two sauces a chutney and sweet. For entrees, I had the Chicken Biriyani, Chicken Cochin Curry, Palak Paneer, and the Rogan Josh Goat Curry with Garlic Naan. The curries came with a small bowl of white rice. My favorite curry was the Rogan Josh Goat Curry. The meat was tender with spices nicely infused to create a wonderful and smooth taste. I also ordered a Masala Chai which was the perfect temperature to sip! Overall a fantastic experience and would highly recommend. I will be coming back again!“

“It is really good good with good quantity Very friendly staff and good at explaining their menu Must try“

“Amazing and authentic south Indian food. We had kuzhi paniyaram, podi dosa, egg kothu parotta and parotta with chicken salna - everything tasted great , fresh and felt like you would have it in home.

Highly recommend this restaurant“

“very very Nice food Namaste Spice Arlington MA“

“Great place. Food is great and family owned! 👏👍“

“Although a restaurant serving both Greek and Indian dishes may seem strange, do not let that deter you. This restaurant lives up to their name in quality and service. My daughter had a Gyro plate, while my wife and I had the Awadhi Jackfruit Korma and Peri Peri Kingfish. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely return!“

“Wow tikka, was wow! Had ordered kachori chaat and Vada pav, lassi and masala tea. Kachori chaat was the best ever kachori I have had in the US so far. Vada was a bit salty and they can better it. Comes in quantity of 2 both the items. Kachori chat is enough for one person though. Lassi and masala tea was fine.

Good for price, clean and enough sitting inside and outside.

Vegetarian options: Indian street food, curries etc.“

“Food was really good and quick delivery“

“Such a great place! I haven’t had goat since I was in India and it tasted just like I was back there! Great mango lassi and chicken tiki masala too!“

“My fiancé and I went in for dinner and ended up being shocked on how empty it was. The food was amazing and the owner and his wife were incredibly kind. It’s definitely a new favorite and a must try for anyone looking for good food and a comforting environment“

“Living nearby, Kantipur has become my go-to every week for quarantine takeout. I've tried all the chicken dishes about 3 times by now and I still can't decide which is the best! But my favorite menu item is the vegetable pakora appetizer. Dip it in the chutney sauce and you'll understand. 🎁🎊“

“Food was spectacular! Delivered right on time and hot! No problems at all. Truly authentic Indian cuisine, freshest spices, sauces. Multi-generational family owned. No BS! Service with smile and heart. If any companies want to go in on their food truck service after winter and are near to Stoughton (Randolph line) message me. I have about 30 employees but could use another 30 employees from another office to make it worthwhile to food truck. Their food is ‘fire’ but not too spicy! People who have never eaten Indian food were excited to try and enjoyed 💯. Thank you Singh Family!“

“Met a group of friends for dinner. They quickly put tables together to accommodate our party of 6. Servicers checked in periodically, but we did not feel rushed. There is a full bar available. When the server brought the bill she made a point of letting us know that the tip was included in the total, which was appreciated.“

“I stopped into Taste of India today and was blown away by the service and the food. The owner is one of the kindest people I’ve met—he took time to make me feel welcome, offered me a sample without hesitation, and explained everything with care. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and treats every customer like family.

The grilled chicken with sautéed veggies was delicious—perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. Even the mango lassi hit the spot! The flavors were fresh and authentic, and the atmosphere was laid-back and clean.

Definitely one of the best Indian spots I’ve been to. If you're looking for good food and even better people, this is the place. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This is the second time in one week my friend and I have chosen this restaurant as our destination for food, drinks, and merriment and we were not disappointed.The staff is a delight, both times we were greeted with a warm smile and they were very knowledgeable recommending dishes and levels of spice. The naan bread is delicious and the appetizers and entrees we ordered were amazing as well bursting with so much flavor. The cocktails were crafted with precision and so much passion from the wonderful bartender. The live music is great! We definitely recommend Chulo restaurant and plan on returning again and again!“

“Love their dosa and chole bhature !!!!“

“Vaisakhi is the breath of fresh air that the restaurant scene in this little corner of Brighton and all of Cleveland Circle needs. Finally a sit down, casual Indian place that's reasonably priced and doesn't require half an hour each way on the T to get to! Even on their first day open, their food is better than several of the Indian restaurants in the Boston area that I've eaten at. Tucked away across from the Sutherland Road T stop, you can follow your nose to the doorstep of the restaurant. The interior tastefully restrained, bright colors and some simple paintings above the booths. The space is small, but not cramped and the booth seating at least was very comfortable. The three gentlemen who own/run the front of the house are eager to please. We were seated right away and given water and menus. The menu is comprehensive without being too large and confusing. The vegetarian, and meat sections are both equally sized, so there's plenty of options for both vegetarians and meat eaters alike. My wife and I started out with the vegetable pakoras. These little fritters of batter and veggies were served hot, with a little bit of salty spice powder and dipping sauces. The crunchy shell pairs nicely with the soft veggies inside and tastes amazing when you put a bit of the red onion chutney on it. For our main course we ordered the saag paneer and the dal makhani, two of our favorite vegetarian dishes in Indian cuisine. The dal makhani was subtle, not overly spiced and not overly rich like many I've had. The lentils weren't rock hard or cooked into mush. The star of the show was definitely the saag paneer though. The saag was so wonderfully rich and smooth and spiced perfectly, and the paneer was the perfect texture, not too soft and mushy and now dry and crumbly. We decided to leave room for some desert and tried both the gulab jamun and the kheer. The kheer was a bit under seasoned for my taste, not enough rose water or cardamom and a bit on this thin side, but it served as a nice palate cleanser. The gulab jamun was excellent, the syrup not too sweet or floral and the balls had a nice subtle flavor to them as well. I'm lucky enough to live right around the corner from Vaisakhi, but I would gladly travel a lot further for this food.“

“The food here is delicious and the service beautiful. We loved it! The lunch specials are not to be missed. Great value!“

“Went out for a late night drive and was glad to have come across this place at midnight. Got a quick snack of samosas, masala chai and masala lassi. The service was fast and friendly.

This is a fast casual spot so the lassi came bottled and the chai came out of a dispenser machine. Everything was decent but nothing to write home about. The prices felt a little steep at $5 for a samosa and $4 for each drink.“

“Huge portions, reasonable prices, tasty food and excellent service .“

“Excellent food, ambiance can be better. Good, pleasant and caring service. Worth visiting and excellent value.

Vegetarian options: Malai kofta and navarathna korma were excellent, good spices, nice aroma and tasty with either. rice or naan.

Parking: Pleanty of space around.“

“The service is friendly and the prices are very affordable. The food is really delicious and authentic South Indian cuisine. All the dishes were done perfectly and the staff was very kind. One of the best South Indian meals I have ever had.“

“Had an awesome experience here! Ordered the chicken coconut curry and was great! They were so nice to even give us all complementary rice (besides the naan) and mango lassi. Food was done in 15 minutes and tasted great. Very friendly staff. Important to note that it is takeaway only, orders through the app or in person.

Vegetarian options: A large variety of vegetarian options ranging from paneer to chenna to more.“

“Delicious food, quality ingredients. Gracious service!“

“In my opinion, this is the best Indian restaurant in the Boston metropolitan area. The quality of the food is outstanding—every dish is full of rich, authentic flavors and clearly made with care and top-notch ingredients.

The food is on the spicier side, something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to heat. While the prices are on the higher end, I believe it’s worth it for the quality, taste, and overall experience.“

“Dosa was very fresh and waiters very kind. The wait staff help you to select flavors and keep your water glass filled.“

“Love this place and I can't wait to take my friends there. Delicious food!“

“We had a fantastic meal. We ordered meal for two. Yummy!!“

“Aurora was a fantastic server!“

“We stopped for a quick lunch and not only was it quick, but it was DELICIOUS! The gardein vegetarian chicken tikka masala was perfect!“

“The food was AMAZING!! Our server was quick and checked up on us frequently. If you are looking for quality Indian food I highly recommend coming here and having their pani puri! 100000000/10 would pay millions to come here for the first time again“

“My husband and I absolutely LOVED our meals. Looking forward to many future orders! Highly recommend the chicken tikka masala, veggie samosas, veggie momo, and chicken curry! Can’t wait to try more items on the menu next time :)“

“Yummy food with nice atmosphere . Have so many little corners that you would love to click with .“

“The food was excellent. There was a fair amount of heat and spice, but it was balanced nicely with well-developed flavors. Even on a 95 ° f day, outside dining was comfortable because of the strong cross breeze and shade.“

“First time. Good choice. Well served. Worth a visit.“

“Amazon food every time. Buffet is fresh and hot and always changes“

“This is clearly the best Indian food in the greater Boston area by a long mile. All the dishes have perfect consistency, are very tasty and aromatic, have fresh ingredients, and have a special savory quality above other Indian restaurants. Also, the chefs will make the food based on your preference of spiciness (and I've actually ordered vindaloo, which is supposed to be spicy, in other local restaurants that was served mild!) no matter what the dish. The selection is larger and more interesting that at any other local restaurant, with a good selection of special dishes, breads, and dosas in addition to all the traditional dishes. There is an amazingly good selection of several draft and bottled beers (for example, Night Shift and Jacks Abby offerings on tap, and Dogfish Head and others in bottles), which is EXTREMELY rare for Indian restaurants, which usually serve the worst quality beers. Finally, the location (Arlington Center, with plenty of on street parking) and inside decor are great, with a modern and stylish interior with comfortable seating. The wait staff is always friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. So, if you want to have the best experience in Indian dining (even if the dishes are a dollar or two more expensive), make Punjab your destination. I've been to dozens of other local Indian restaurants over the past 37 years and this is by far the best one!“

“Excellent buffet, along with excellent customer service and courteous demeanpr“

“We primarily ordered North Indian fares and all dishes were superb. We especially loved the lamb & sheekh kababs, Vindaloo that came with the Nirvana dinner and the Fish pakoras. The owners were very nice too. Will highly recommend this place.“

“It's our go to spot specially with kids. You can get authentic tea, not chai latte, with samosas or chole bhature, or can have full meal in the food court while kids can play well in the play area. Food is great and reasonably priced for being in a mall.“

“Quality is that of what I would imagine an authentic street-side indian vendor would resemble. Prices are definitely fair for what's offered in comparison to more "upscale" indian restaurants. This is more of a bare bones, no frills type of place. As mentioned, it could easily be popped out of a street-side shop in Mumbai and implanted in Boston . Been going here for last 10 Years and love the quality and authentic indian food here !!“

“I love this place! I’ve only ever ordered takeout, but can confirm that the interior is quite nice as well.
The food is fresh, flavorful, and I’m so excited to try more from the menu. The naan is the best I’ve ever had. Garlic naan has garlic and cilantro inside, not just brushed on at the end of cooking — and I really appreciate little touches like that. Chicken tikka masala (medium spice) is 10/10. Fish pakora was cooked perfectly, extremely flaky inside and crisp outside. Yesterday was my second time ordering from Joti Palace and I can already tell I’m going to be a regular.“
